1. IRRESISTIBLE

Coming in announced
I just dragged my nails on the tile
I just follow your scent
You can't just follow my smile
All of your flaws are aligned with this mood of mine
Cutting me to the bone
Nothing left to leave behind

You want to keep me concealed like I was a weapon
I didn’t come for a fight but i'll fight till the end
This will not be a battle
Might not turn out ok
You look so Seattle but you feel so la

And I love the way you hurt me It’s irresistible

I’m gonna get you to burst like you were a bubble
Frame me up on your wall to just keep me out of trouble
Like a moth getting trapped in the light out of fixation
Truly free love baby no inflation
Too many war wounds and not enough wars
Too few rounds in the ring and not enough settled scores
Too many sharks
Not enough blood in the waves
You know I gave my love a four-letter name…


2. AMERICAN BEAUTY/AMERICAN PSYCHO

She’s an American beauty
I’m an American psycho
She’s an American beauty
I’m an American
America psycho

I think I fell in love again
Maybe I just took too much cough medicine
And I’m the best worst thing that hasn’t happened to you yet
The best worst thing

You take the full full truth then you pour some out
And you can kill me, kill me all, let God sort ‘em out
Kill me kill me all

I wish I dreamt in the shape of your mouth
But it’s your thread count I really care about
Stay up till the lights go out
Stay up, stay woah
Take the full full truth then you pour some out
You take the full full truth then you pour some out
And all those dirty thoughts of me
They were never yours to keep
They were never yours to keep keep woah

Alter boys
Altered boys
We’re the things that love destroys
I’m an American
You, me, us, them
We’re just resurrection men
I’m an American
Us, we were only meant
To make you live again
I’m an American
Us we were pity sex
Nothing more and nothing less


3. CENTURIES

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
Just one mistake is all it will take
We’ll go down in history
Remember me for centuries

Mummified my teenage dreams
No, its nothing wrong with me
The kids are all wrong
The stories all off
Heavy metal broke my heart
Come on come on and let me in
Bruises on your thighs like my fingerprints
This is supposed to match
The darkness that you felt
I never meant for you to fix yourself

I cant stop till the whole world knows my name
Because I was only born inside my dreams
Until you die for me as long as there’s a light
My shadows over you cause I am the opposite of amnesia
You’re a cherry blossom
You’re about to bloom
You look so pretty but your gone so soon

We’ve been here forever
And here’s the frozen proof
I could scream forever
We are the poisoned youth.


4. THE KIDS ARENT ALRIGHT

Stuck in the jet wash
A bad trip I couldn’t get off
Maybe I bit off more than I could chew
Overhead of the aqua blue

Fall to your knees bring on the rapture
Blessed be the boys time cant capture
On film or between the sheets
I always fall from your window to the pitch-black street

And the black banners raise
As the crooked smiles fade
Former hero’s who quit too late
Who just wanted to fill up their trophy case again

And in the end
Id do it all again
I think you’re my best friend
Don’t you know that the kids aren’t alright
I’m yours
When it rains it pours
Stay thirsty like before
The kids aren’t alright

I’m not passive but aggressive
Take note it’s not impressive
Empty your sadness like you’re dumping your purse out on my bedroom floor
we’ll put your curse in reverse

And it’s our time now if you want it to be
Maul the world like carnival bear set free
And your love is anemic
And I can’t believe that you couldn’t see it coming from me

I still feel that rush in my veins
It twists my head a bit to think
All those people in the old photographs I’ve seen are dead

Sometimes I just want to sit around and gaze at my shoes
And let your dirty sadness fill me up like a balloon


5. UMA THURMAN

I can move mountains
I can work a miracle
I’ll keep you like an oath
“May nothing but death do us part…”

She wants to dance like Uma Thurman
Bury me ’til I confess
She wants to dance like Uma Thurman
And I can’t get you out of my head

The stench of summer sex
And CK Eternity oh hell yes
Divide me down to the smallest I can be
Put your put your venom in me

The blood of the lamb
Is worth two lions but here I am
And I slept in last night’s clothes
And tomorrow’s dreams
But they’re not quite what they seem

You’ll find your way
And may death find alive
Take me down the line
In Gem City we turned the tides
You’ll find your way
And may death find alive
Take me down the line
In Gem City we turned the tides

You cut me deep like Uma Thurman
Bury me ’til I confess
You cut me deep like Uma Thurman
And I can’t get you out of my head


6. JET PACK BLUES

I’ve got those jet pack blues just like Judy
I’m the kind that can turn june to september
The last one that you’ll ever remember
I’m trying to find my peace of mind between these two white highway signs
When the city goes silent, the ringing in my ears gets violent

She’s in a long black coat tonight
Waiting for me in the downpour outside
She’s singing baby come home in a melody of tears
While the rhythm of the rain keeps time

I remember “Baby come home”
Did you ever love her?
Do you know?
Or did you never want to be alone?

I’ve got those jet pack blues
Fight off the light tonight and just stay with me
Honey don’t you leave
Don’t you remember the way we used to split a drink
It never mattered what it was
I think our heads were just that close
The sweetness never lasts you know


7. NOVOCAINE

This is a black ski mask song
So put all of your anger on
Only in the truly gruesome do we trust
I will always land on you like a sucker punch
Singing “I am your worst nightmare”

If you knew what the blue birds sang at you
You would never sing along
Cast them out cause this is our culture
These new flocks are nothing but vultures

Because they took our love and filled it up
Filled it up with Novocain and now I’m just numb
Don’t mind me I’m just a son of a gun
Don’t stop until your heart goes numb
I don’t feel a thing for you.

I’m just a problem that doesn’t want to be solved
So could you please hold your applause
Take this sideshow and all its freaks
And turn it into the silver screen dream

One day the valley’s gonna swallow me whole
Hijack the hype!
Hijack the hype!
And I feel like a photo that’s been overexposed
Hijack the hype!
Hijack the hype!


8. FOURTH OF JULY

It was the Fourth of July
You and I were fireworks that went off too soon
And I miss you in the June gloom too
It was the Fourth of July
You and I were Fireworks
I said I’d never miss you
But I guess you never know
May the bridges I have burned light my way back home
On the Fourth of July

I’ll be as honest as you let me
I miss your early morning company
If you get me
You are my favorite “What if,”
You are my best “I’ll never know,”
And I’m starting too forget
Just what summer ever meant to you
What did it ever mean to you

Oh I’m sorry
I didn’t mean any of it
I just got too lonely
In between being young and being right
You were my Versailles at night

It was the Fourth of July
You and I were fireworks that went off too soon
And I miss you in the June gloom too
It was the Fourth of July
You and I were fireworks
I said I’d never miss you
But I guess you never know
May the bridges I have burned light my way back home
On the Fourth of July

My nine to five is cutting open old scars
Again and again ’til I’m stuck in your head
Had my doubts but I let them out
You are the drought
And I’m the holy water you have been without
And all my thoughts of you
They could heat or cool the room
And no
Don’t tell me you cried
Oh honey you don’t have to lie

Oh I’m sorry
I didn’t mean any of it

I just got too lonely
In between being young and being right
You were my Versailles at night

I wish I’d known how much you loved me
I wish I cared enough to know
I’m sorry every song’s about you
The torture of small talk
With someone you used to love


9. FAVORITE RECORD

Do you remember when we drove through the night and we danced to Rancid
I confessed to you riding shotgun underneath the purple skies and we danced we danced with windows down and we danced.

You are the song stuck in my head
Every song that I’ve ever loved
Play it again and again and again
You can get what you want but its never enough

And I spin for you like your favorite records used to

I cant remember just how to forget the way that we danced we danced to Danzig
And when you ask me how I’m doing like you know how much better off i am


10. IMMORTALS

They say; “we are what we are…”
But we don’t have to be
I’m bad behavior
But I do it in the best way
I’ll be the watcher
Of the eternal flame
I’ll be the guard dog
Of all your fever dreams

I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass
I try to picture you without me but I can’t

Cause we could be immortals
Just not for long, for long
Live with me forever now
And pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long
We could be immortals

Sometimes the only payoff for having any faith
Is when it’s tested again and again everyday
I’m still comparing your past to my future
It might be your wound but
They’re my sutures


11. TWIN SKELETON’S (HOTEL IN NYC)

There’s a room in a hotel in New York City
That shares our fate and deserves our pity
I don’t want to remember at all
The promises I made if you just hold on…

I just need enough of you to dull the pain
To get me through the night until were twins again
Till were stripped down to our skeletons again
Till were saints just swimming in our sins again

And there’s a jet black crow droning on and on and on
Up above our heads droning on and on
Keep making trouble till you find what you love
I need a new partner in crime and you shrug…

A birth and a death on the same day
And honey I only appeared so I can fade away
I just wanna throw my hands in the air and scream
That I could just die laughing on your spiral of shame

And there’s a jet black crow droning on and on and on
Up above our heads droning on and on
Hit it never quit it
I have been through the wreck
But I can string enough to show my face in the light again
